Off-duty cop kills man in bar fight

[MakAttak]

There is sufficient stupidity on both sides of the cop bashing argument that neither side would be well served not to paint with broad brushes.

The middle ground is that some cops are great, some cops are scum, and most are doing their job. That's true in most every other aspect of humanity, and is likely true in this one.

True, however, given the nature of the police profession, I would be willing to wager they have a higher percentage of individuals there because they are interested in exerting power.

Also, given the nature of the police profession, I would also assume they have a higher percentage of individuals who are there out of duty and honor.

As a result, you have a greater chance of finding one or the other extreme in your dealings with police. This is not to say that the vast majority are one or the other (I'd lead towards the latter though). However, there would be less police "just doing the job" than you would find in other professions.

This one's gone off the rails.
